Visual Studio 2005 - Missing "Item Templates"

By Robert Wray on January 25, 2006 10:42 PM |

Does anyone have any idea why Visual Studio 2005 might not display all the available templates when right clicking in a project in Solution Explorer (specifically a Visual Basic project) and choosing "Add New Item"? I've managed to glean a few answers from google, such as dropping down to a command prompt and running "devenv /setup" and "devenv /xxxxTemplates". (xxxx is a string that I can't remember!)

Neither of these have helped. Which is quite frustrating. Nor has un-installing and re-installing, repairing, or any permuation of those.

The only work-around I've found, whilst inelegant, is to go to Tools > Options and put in the directory which contains the template items (something like %VS INSTALL DIR%\COMMON7\IDE\ItemTemplateCache) in the box for "User Item Templates". Grrrr!
